Let's face it. You have no idea what's in your bag right now. There's no way (unless the bag is brand new, obviously). I didn't know either. So I emptied it. Here what I found:

Three pairs of gloves. Two spare for the kids and one for me. It's winter, after all. During any other time those are replaced by umbrella or sunglasses. Or, more often, both.

A pile of something. Pebbles, paper clips, a hair clip, plastic eye, playmobile parts, soda pops, coins and a small elsatic band for K. I must admit, I put all that back in my purse after I took the photo. No idea what to do with it.

Wallet (really really full wallet, mostly with documents and bank and shop cards), coin purse and work badge. Simply essential.

More essentials. Gummy bears and tissues and eye drops. No idea why I have any of the rest in my bag, nor when did I put it there.

GoPro, hand cream, a tampon, lipgloss, hair clips and McQueen. The two items that could totally save my day are in here. Yup, you guessed it, a tampon and McQueen. You never know when grumpy TO or grumpy kids could happen. What I'm missing here? My cherry lip balm. Nowhere to be found. I'm starting to think it has been eaten by K.

More surprises: a finger toy, bag hook, and a pen. I would not expect to find any of those on me. Oh well, I guess I had them all along. And my keys. Strangely, I can never find my keys when I search for them, but I KNOW they are there. Usually. :)

There is more! Random papers, plus random papers. Don't even ask.

What am I missing?

My phone. My phone is usually in my bag, to make sure I don't hear it when it rings. In this case, I don't know its where abouts (blame it on the kids!). I will find it in the morning, when the alarm starts.

Then, the other day I went out. So I grabbed a smaller purse and put in there only what I needed:

So I don't need that much. Question is, how does the rest accummulate? And am I the only one?
